00:00:00How you like it when no one turns off?
00:00:06This will teach him.
00:00:12Hi. They've been at it all morning. It's killing my business.
00:00:16It's all seen. They're all over the village.
00:00:25Blue-Grey.
00:00:27That's fairly good.
00:00:30Hmm. Blue it is then.
00:00:43Brad!
00:00:45Good girl.
00:00:46Thanks for coming.
00:00:48Did Brad rob a jewelers?
00:00:50I'd have stolen the crown jewels to get Frankie to say yes.
00:00:55What's with your pebbles?
00:00:57They can't even stretch to real champagne.
00:00:59Well, this is a step up for them.
00:01:01I was expecting tap water.
00:01:06Cordelia. Hi.
00:01:07I'm not drinking this. It's not real champagne.
00:01:09Oh, thank you.
00:01:10I don't know what you're smiling about. The village have voted to boycott our flower festival.
00:01:18Fear not, my dear. Your brilliant husband has it all in hand.
00:01:22What does that mean?
00:01:23No.
00:01:24Oh, what have you done now?
00:01:25There's nothing else.
00:01:26No, unfortunately not.
00:01:31Oh, they're beautiful.
00:01:34Thank you, Kimony.
00:01:35I was hoping you might hire me to do the fireworks on your big day.
00:01:39Oh, I...
00:01:40Yeah, we're not really making any clear-cut decisions yet.
00:01:42It's good to see you.
00:01:44I'm alright.
00:01:45I think I'm getting a cold.
00:01:46It might be over the moon, for Frankie.
00:01:47This is me being over the moon.
00:01:48Who the hell is that?
00:01:49Yes!
00:01:50It's amazing, isn't it?
00:01:51My mum used to tell me about this place.
00:02:06Why have you stopped?
00:02:07Me and the others can start setting up.
00:02:08Yes.
00:02:09You've got to come and say hello.
00:02:10I can't do this on my own.
00:02:11You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:13You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:15You're the one who couldn't wait to come here.
00:02:16I'm not.
00:02:17I'm not.
00:02:18Are you too?
00:02:19You're the one who couldn't wait to come here, not me.
00:02:22Come on, guys.
00:02:41Nath, I presume.
00:02:43How shall we handle this?
00:02:45Like Livingston and Stanley?
00:02:46It's a bigger moment than that.
00:02:49Oh.
00:02:50Oh, oh.
00:02:51Yes, um.
00:02:53Girls, I want you to meet your uncle.
00:02:55We don't have an uncle.
00:02:57What on earth is going on?
00:02:58Myrtle, this is my half-brother Noah,
00:03:00and suffice to say, until recently,
00:03:03neither of us knew the other existed.
00:03:05Hi.
00:03:06Well, it's great to meet you all.
00:03:12I didn't want to turn up empty-handed.
00:03:16Oh, that's, um, that's lovely.
00:03:25Time starts now, as they say.
00:03:30Oh, yes.
00:03:31Come on, everyone.
00:03:45Let's get a photo of you all by the clock.
00:03:48Well, it's a big moment.
00:03:51Old family, new family, family of the future.
00:03:55I'm not family.
00:03:55Just smile and say cheese.
00:04:00Cuckoo, cuckoo.
00:04:04Love.
00:04:05Hang on.
00:04:06We need the happy couple in the middle.
00:04:08Oh, yeah.
00:04:09Come on.
00:04:10Am I going to get my share?
00:04:11You have your reward for marrying my daughter.
00:04:13That's not what we...
00:04:14Agreed, Alan.
00:04:15It's so, Alan, to you.
00:04:18Oh, very nice.
00:04:19That's it.
00:04:22Well done, everyone.
00:04:23Well done, everyone.
00:04:23We need the thing.
00:04:27Let's do some kind of stuff.
00:04:29That's what I want.
00:04:31Hold on.
00:04:31You?
00:04:33Let's do some kind of stuff.
00:04:35Come on.
00:04:44Come on.
00:04:47Sit down.
00:04:48Come on.
00:04:49Come on.
00:04:51I don't know.
00:05:52I thought I was going to build this.
00:05:54Yeah, you did think that.
00:05:56And then I decided it needs doing properly.
00:05:58As you are well aware, my grandfather was a master carpenter.
00:06:03And as a carpenter, you make a brilliant detective.
00:06:09Oh, Winter.
00:06:10Sir.
00:06:11Oh, what are you building?
00:06:13Well, if I do it, it's going to be in Arbor.
00:06:15And if John does it...
00:06:16Presumably there's a reason you're here this early.
00:06:38Ah, I thought it'd be this place.
00:06:41I almost came here last year.
00:06:42They have an annual flower festival.
00:06:44I know you're into horticulture, Winter.
00:06:46I'm not, but this girl I was seeing was...
00:06:48And when you say you almost came here...
00:06:50Well, when she took one look at my house plants,
00:06:53she decided that I wasn't the one for her.
00:06:54Apparently I put the wrong perennials next to each other in the same pot.
00:06:57Small margins, Winter.
00:06:58Well, how am I supposed to know that some plants don't get on?
00:07:00Looks like more police are arriving.
00:07:10Do you think I should go up there?
00:07:13Then do what?
00:07:14I don't actually know.
00:07:16I mean, how do brothers brother?
00:07:25There.
00:07:25Where did you get to last night?
00:07:36I woke up when you weren't there.
00:07:37I, uh, I had a nightmare.
00:07:39I took a walk to calm down.
00:07:45If your brother needs you, he will tell you.
00:07:47Hello?
00:07:56Here's a new one for you.
00:07:58The poor fellow was pecked to death.
00:08:02Pecked?
00:08:03We didn't realize it was the murder weapon
00:08:05till it struck the hour and stabbed one of my sockers.
00:08:09He's lucky he's tall.
00:08:11Well, taller than the victim.
00:08:12Watch this.
00:08:14Um, better stand back first.
00:08:17Further?
00:08:29Well, I've seen everything now.
00:08:31The victim's name was Brad Furbank.
00:08:35Aged 29.
00:08:37Time of death?
00:08:38Judging from his lividity and rigor,
00:08:40I'd say he'd been dead at least five hours.
00:08:43Well, that will put it about three o'clock this morning.
00:08:45Who found him?
00:08:46The lady of the house.
00:08:48Myrtle Bruce.
00:08:49And she lives here with her husband, Sir Alan.
00:08:51Where was the clock hanging?
00:08:53It was level with that ghoulish portrait.
00:08:57The cuckoo stabbed Brad and he came tumbling down the stairs.
00:09:02Well, it seems they were right all along.
00:09:04Time is indeed the enemy.
00:09:06I couldn't believe it.
00:09:12Brad was just lying at the foot of the stairs.
00:09:15What time was this?
00:09:17Probably about seven.
00:09:19You hadn't heard anything before that, say around three this morning?
00:09:22I had a bit too much to drink last night.
00:09:27So I was out like a light.
00:09:32Don't look at me.
00:09:33I tend to sleep the sleep of the just.
00:09:36Quiet.
00:09:37Tell me about Brad.
00:09:40Presumably he lived here with you.
00:09:42Oh, goodness, no.
00:09:43He's been staying at the Raging Stag.
00:09:45It's a pub in the village.
00:09:47Would either of you know why he came here in the middle of the night?
00:09:50I hadn't a clue what Brad was doing here.
00:09:56Presumably he was coming to see you.
00:09:58But he knew I was out last night with my friends, carrying on the celebrations.
00:10:04So it was our engagement party yesterday.
00:10:08It's all right.
00:10:09I'm here.
00:10:10When did you get back to Godly Manor?
00:10:12I didn't.
00:10:13My friends and I crashed at Cordelia's flat.
00:10:16I saw it.
00:10:16I can't believe this.
00:10:18I'm sorry.
00:10:18I just have a few more questions.
00:10:22When did you last see Brad?
00:10:24Yesterday evening.
00:10:26Before I left with my friends.
00:10:28That was around nine, I think.
00:10:30And did anything untoward happen before then?
00:10:32Does the arrival of an uncle we never knew we had qualify?
00:10:36The clock was a gift.
00:10:38From a brother-in-law I didn't know I had.
00:10:41It's a long story.
00:10:43I'd still like to hear it.
00:10:44Well, my father, Sir Percival Bruce,
00:10:47sired Noah out of wedlock.
00:10:50Noah?
00:10:50Noah Connoboy.
00:10:52Now, I had no idea he existed until the family solicitor told me at my father's funeral.
00:10:57Was this recently?
00:10:59It was about six weeks ago.
00:11:01So I asked Brad to search for him.
00:11:04He's very good at the internet.
00:11:06Well, was.
00:11:07So Noah turned up with the clock?
00:11:11Yes.
00:11:11He said that he'd made it especially for the occasion.
00:11:14Shall I save you some time?
00:11:16The only reason Noah's here is to claim his share.
00:11:19Oh, so you think Sir Alan was the intended target?
00:11:22A child of five could tell you that.
00:11:25So, off you trot and go and arrest Noah.
00:11:28He'll be outside, contaminating our grounds.
00:11:31What my darling wife means is that Noah's arrived with his troop.
00:11:35They put on oldie-worldie woodworking festivals.
00:11:38Very popular, apparently.
00:11:39Brings people from far and wide.
00:11:41So we don't need some limp flower festival
00:11:44when we can replace it with something much more popular.
00:11:47Did Brad work in the village?
00:11:52He could work anywhere.
00:11:54He was in Bitcoin.
00:11:55He was doing really well.
00:11:56Always on his phone, checking the markets.
00:11:59So you didn't have an argument with someone in Godly Buzzards, hey?
00:12:02Brad, never.
00:12:04He was really popular.
00:12:05My sister can vouch for that.
00:12:06He was lovely.
00:12:08Never seen Frankie as happy.
00:12:14You know, I nearly came to the flower festival
00:12:17last year.
00:12:17Would have been a waste of time.
00:12:19It was rained off.
00:12:20Worst thunderstorm in decades.
00:12:22Destroyed all the flower beds.
00:12:23It was an absolute disaster.
00:12:25Well, hopefully it'll be different this year.
00:12:27No chance.
00:12:29The village have boycotted it.
00:12:30Our magnanimous father decided to charge double this year,
00:12:34which made a lot of people very angry.
00:12:36We're looking for a Noah Connor boy.
00:12:58That will be me.
00:13:00I saw you earlier, but you were, um, a bit taller.
00:13:04Oh, yeah.
00:13:05Yeah, no, I get that a lot.
00:13:10Uh, sorry, I'm Nessie.
00:13:12Nessie Copeland.
00:13:13What's happening up at the house?
00:13:15I'm afraid we have reason to believe that, um,
00:13:17Brad Furbank was murdered last night.
00:13:20Murdered?
00:13:22Are you serious?
00:13:23That's awful.
00:13:25And what can you tell us about the cuckoo clock?
00:13:29It tells the time.
00:13:31What else is there to say?
00:13:32Did you build it yourself?
00:13:34I craft everything myself.
00:13:35Sorry, why are you asking about a cuckoo clock?
00:13:39Its spring had been tightened to a murderous degree.
00:13:43A sharp piece of metal had been attached to the cuckoo's beak.
00:13:46The second it chimed, it sprang out, and...
00:13:49I'm sure you can work out the rest.
00:13:50Everyone saw the clock yesterday.
00:13:54There wasn't anything attached to the beak.
00:13:57Um, there was a woman taking photos.
00:14:00That'll prove it.
00:14:02Uh, I think she was called Kimony.
00:14:04Runs the flower shop in the village.
00:14:05This has nothing to do with Noah.
00:14:09Did either of you notice anything, um,
00:14:11off at the engagement party?
00:14:13I-I wasn't there.
00:14:15I was here with the others setting up.
00:14:16There's a lot to do.
00:14:17Alan wants me to put on a festival.
00:14:19He couldn't get me here quick enough.
00:14:21Did you know your father owned all of this?
00:14:23I was born in the village.
00:14:25It wasn't long before my mother up sticks.
00:14:29But she often told me about this place.
00:14:32Is that your way of saying that you did know?
00:14:33When you put it like that, I guess it is.
00:14:43Well, sir, Noah could have been trying to kill Sir Alan because there's obviously something to gain.
00:14:48I can see it now.
00:14:48He-he sneaks back up to the house, rigs the clock, and then potentially inherits the lot.
00:14:52Well, how would he know Sir Alan was going to get so close to it, and at the exact time?
00:14:59Fleur.
00:14:59It's called a dibbler.
00:15:01Say that again.
00:15:02And gardeners use it to make holes in the ground.
00:15:04Oh, thanks as ever, Fleur.
00:15:06I'm still talking.
00:15:07The so-called emeralds in its eyes are paste, and the beak is skull plate.
00:15:13It may look a million dollars, but it's worth less than a real cuckoo.
00:15:20Well, the piece of metal attached to the beak is called a dibbler.
00:15:23And what's a dibbler when it's home?
00:15:25If you'd bothered looking after your houseplants, Winter, you would know that a dibbler is a tool that gardeners use.
00:15:32And now murderers, apparently.
00:15:37Sorry, mate.
00:15:41We don't need the extra kegs.
00:15:44Blame the village for boycotting the flower festival.
00:15:46I'm not going to shift a tenth of what I normally do this time of year.
00:15:49Sorry, pal.
00:15:55Mr. Solanke.
00:15:56Were you aware that Brad had gone up to Godly Manor in the early hours of this morning?
00:16:09Did he?
00:16:10I didn't know.
00:16:11When was the last time you saw him?
00:16:13Last night, just before I locked up.
00:16:16Did you notice anything unusual at the engagement party?
00:16:19Not really, no.
00:16:21Not unless you count that moment with Kimony.
00:16:23Kimony?
00:16:25Kimony Bullet.
00:16:27Brad told her not to do the flowers for the wedding and she seemed quite annoyed, but not murderously so.
00:16:34And did you see the clock being hung on the wall?
00:16:36Everyone saw it.
00:16:37It was a work of art.
00:16:39Wish I had skills like that.
00:16:40I can barely put up a shelf.
00:16:42Should have listened to her mother and done a corset.
00:16:43Thank you, Mr. Solanke.
00:16:45My team will obviously need access to Brad's room.
00:16:49Why he wasn't killed here?
00:16:52We need to go through Brad's things.
00:16:54We're still to locate his phone for one thing.
00:16:57See?
00:16:58Problem?
00:16:59No, no.
00:17:00Not at all.
00:17:00Well, there must have been a sale on at the mirror shop.
00:17:22Well, we've got a charger.
00:17:24But still no sign of a phone.
00:17:26Sounds to me like someone doesn't want it to be found.
00:17:31Dr. Perkins?
00:17:32Hey, Fever.
00:17:33I know the feeling.
00:17:34There you are.
00:17:34Within five yards of a mustard plant.
00:17:38Diamond?
00:17:39Not real this time.
00:17:41That's probably Frankie's.
00:17:42Brad liked to splash out on her.
00:17:45Please remove yourself, Mr. Solanke.
00:17:48I've never seen anything like this.
00:17:50Well, not for real.
00:17:52It's my mum wanting me to do a course in forensics.
00:17:54Will you be done soon?
00:18:02I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, Mrs. Solanke.
00:18:06Fleur?
00:18:14We're done.
00:18:16For now.
00:18:17I'm sorry.
00:18:22I'm sorry.
00:18:22I'm sorry.
00:18:22Oh, my God.
00:18:52What are you doing, Kimony? It's me.
00:19:13Being you doesn't exonerate you, Sylvia.
00:19:15Brad's just been murdered, for goodness sake. Surely you can be a bit lenient. I'm in shock.
00:19:19Then you shouldn't be out driving in the first place.
00:19:22This isn't just a speeding offence. It's a whole lot more than that. And you know it.
00:19:30Is this you for the rest of your life now? Punishing drivers day and night?
00:19:35I'm closed for the day.
00:19:51Kimony bullet, I take it.
00:19:53The boycott of the flower festival can't be helping business.
00:20:04The village are furious with Sir Alan. He tried to turn a quaint tradition into a corporate
00:20:10cash grab.
00:20:11He doubled the entrance fee.
00:20:12Almost tripled it, if you include having to pay for parking. Oh, which reminds me, I need
00:20:17to make a note of Sylvia's speeding offence. I send them in every Monday, first thing.
00:20:23Well, I'll need you to email that to me.
00:20:26Well, of course. Usually this time of year there's a queue all the way from the green to get in here.
00:20:32You can't have been happy with Sir Alan. That's an understatement.
00:20:36Yet still you went to the engagement party. Myrtle and I have been friends for decades. I could hardly let her down on Frankie's big day.
00:20:45I'll need you to email that to me.
00:20:47Well, of course. Usually this time of year there's a queue all the way from the green to get in here.
00:20:51You can't have been happy with Sir Alan. That's an understatement.
00:20:55Yet still you went to the engagement party. Myrtle and I have been friends for decades. I could hardly let her down on Frankie's big day.
00:21:05Have you sold any of these lately? Who needs a dibbler when there's no flower festival?
00:21:16Thanks to Sir Alan, I couldn't give them away right now.
00:21:26I know a very good jeweller if you want to sell that ring.
00:21:36How could you be so thoughtless?
00:21:38Well, there's no need to bite my head off.
00:21:40We're all trying to process what happened. It's not just you, Frankie. It's a big loss for us as well.
00:21:45This is my pain. It's not yours.
00:21:48Don't you dare try and hijack it.
00:21:50Look, why don't we try to concentrate on the positives? We've got this wonderful festival of wood, thanks to Noah.
00:21:56And we'll have tons of people streaming in. And that's mainly down to Brad. God rest his soul.
00:22:00My word. These people. No one's going to pay to see a freak show.
00:22:05Au contraire, my dear. It'll be the height of popularity.
00:22:08We were in the middle of talking.
00:22:09I'm sorry, dear. I thought you'd said your piece.
00:22:12Why did it have to be Brad that got killed? And not one of you?
00:22:30Hello.
00:22:40Oh, hello again. How can I help? I do flowers for all occasions.
00:22:46A good thing, too. Now we've got a funeral coming up.
00:22:49Oh, God. I didn't think.
00:22:52Don't worry. It's easy. I'm not here about flowers.
00:22:55A little birdie told me you're the head of the village council.
00:22:59Well, someone's got to keep this place in order.
00:23:01Perfect. Because I need to know about the grounds at Godly Manor.
00:23:06Only we were due to put on a festival of wood at Badger's Drift a few weeks back,
00:23:10but the village voted against it. Even though we were holding our event on private land.
00:23:15Well, there are a few archaic laws floating around.
00:23:19Ellen got me here so quickly, I didn't have a chance to check.
00:23:22You're putting on a festival at the manor?
00:23:25He said it was to replace a flower day or something.
00:23:29I see.
00:23:31He thinks it could become a permanent thing if it goes well, which it always does.
00:23:36Noah?
00:23:37Sweetheart.
00:23:38Can we get back now?
00:23:42Yes, yes. Be an angel and find out about those bylaws.
00:23:45Oh, sure.
00:23:53Call me back when you get this.
00:23:55I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:24:06I'm getting bad vibes about this place.
00:24:11I think we should pack up and go.
00:24:13And leave my brother at his lowest ebb.
00:24:17You know why you're really here.
00:24:19He's using you.
00:24:21His flower festival isn't happening and he needed something to take its place.
00:24:24I wasn't born yesterday, Des.
00:24:27You're happy to be used?
00:24:28Credit me with some brains.
00:24:30I want something out of this as well.
00:24:32Look around.
00:24:35I'm owed half of this.
00:24:36Noah, you promised me.
00:24:38You said it would be two or three days at the most.
00:24:41That was before we got here.
00:24:42Well, I'm not staying here a second longer than I have to.
00:24:45What's got into you?
00:24:46There's someone who grew up around here.
00:24:48I thought he'd enjoy being back.
00:24:49I hated here.
00:24:52What?
00:24:53Why would you say that?
00:24:55After this weekend, we are leaving.
00:24:58We are never coming back.
00:25:00I mean it, Noah.
00:25:17Call me back when you get this.
00:25:19I'm not 100%, but you will not believe who I just saw.
00:25:23Kimmerley, I just got your message.
00:25:33Oh, my God.
00:25:35Are you sure it's her?
00:25:38I can't.
00:25:38I just can't.
00:25:41Not while there's breath in my body.
00:25:49You're not working today.
00:25:50Ah, blame Winter for running late.
00:25:52Did you know he got dumped last year because he planted some flowers the wrong way?
00:25:56Well, it's the little things in life, John.
00:25:58You've got to get them just right.
00:26:00But don't worry.
00:26:00You're getting there.
00:26:02So, what do you think so far would Grandad approve?
00:26:04If you don't mind me saying it, it looks a bit lopsided.
00:26:08Very funny.
00:26:10Oh, I see where you've been going wrong.
00:26:12Here, look.
00:26:13You've had this upside down.
00:26:15You tear that and you're in big trouble.
00:26:20Oh, Penny, Penny, oh, Penny!
00:26:24It's all right.
00:26:25I can try it off.
00:26:27Look, I will finish that off as soon as I get a moment.
00:26:30Did I mention carpenters in my jeans?
00:26:33I'll just grab the first aid box.
00:26:42Tell me what's wrong with this picture, Winter.
00:26:45Cuckoo's the only one that's smiling.
00:26:48Look at the clock.
00:26:50It's not level with the top of the painting.
00:26:52Fleur said it was level with Sir Alan's portrait, but here it's at least four inches lower.
00:26:56So someone moved it.
00:26:59But look who is level with the portrait.
00:27:01Brad.
00:27:02Which most likely means he was the intended target after all.
00:27:07Well, talking of Brad, Sir, here's a strange one.
00:27:09Tech managed to get into his laptop, but as far as they could tell, he wasn't doing anything in Bitcoin.
00:27:14Truth is, he barely added a penny to his name.
00:27:17Then how did he pay for Frankie's engagement rate?
00:27:19Well, there's no sign of it in his accounts or credit card statements.
00:27:22Also, we heard back from his mobile phone provider,
00:27:24and they confirmed that his phone was switched off at the time of the murder.
00:27:27Presumably, they sent over a record of his recent calls and texts.
00:27:30Yeah, nothing unusual out of the ordinary.
00:27:36Also, Sir, there is this.
00:27:39This was found under Brad's bed at the pub.
00:27:41Now, I presume that it belongs to Frankie, but I think it's worth checking.
00:27:49Did anything come back on Kim and E. Bullitt?
00:27:51Yes, I found out that her husband was killed in a hit-and-run a year ago.
00:27:56And the driver was never traced.
00:27:57Well, that explains the speed gun and her devotion to catching errant drivers.
00:28:01And intriguingly, the hit-and-run happened on the same day that the flower festival was rained off.
00:28:07And almost exactly a year to the day, Brad Furbank is pecked to death, as Fleur so eloquently put it.
00:28:14If he didn't know that the emeralds and gold were fake, imagine what seeing them might mean to him.
00:28:21Someone who's not only penniless, but also a proven liar.
00:28:25You mean he went there to steal it?
00:28:28Why else would he be there at three in the morning?
00:28:30So someone booby-trapped the bird and then re-hung the clock, knowing that he would come for it.
00:28:35That's exactly what they did, Winter.
00:28:36Now, I'll speak to Frankie.
00:28:42You talk to her sister, Sylvia.
00:28:44I want to find out what they did or didn't know about Brad.
00:28:49And while you're at it, I need a book.
00:28:53A book?
00:28:53On, um, woodwork.
00:28:59My sweetheart come along, don't you hear the fond song, the sweet note of the nightingale flow.
00:29:09Don't you hear the fond tale of the sweet nightingale, as she sings in those valleys below.
00:29:17Oh, sorry. We don't open until tomorrow. I'm not a visitor. All the same. I'm Frankie.
00:29:35Oh, I mean Francesca, Bruce. Myrtle and Alan's daughter.
00:29:41Oh, I'm so sorry about what happened to your fiancé.
00:29:44Oh, thank you. That actually means more than you realise.
00:29:50I'm Nessie, Noah's partner. Were you looking for him?
00:29:53No. I just needed to go on a wander.
00:30:00How long will you be here for?
00:30:02Oh, hopefully just for the weekend, if I can convince Noah.
00:30:06Well, he wants to stay longer.
00:30:08He thinks he can make a permanent home here.
00:30:11Has he told my father that?
00:30:12It doesn't matter if he has. I'm going to convince him to up sticks.
00:30:17Couldn't hit me with you, could you?
00:30:19That was a joke. Well, sort of.
00:30:23Frankie, if you want to get away, then do it.
00:30:26I did the same myself years ago.
00:30:28Left godly buzzard and never looked back.
00:30:32And now you're the singing stilts lady.
00:30:33And I can see for miles and miles to the horizon and beyond.
00:30:39I'd love to try that one day.
00:30:44Please?
00:30:48Let's see if you've got a head for heights.
00:30:49You're right. You can see everything.
00:31:09Frankie, you have a moment.
00:31:12Do me a very large favour, Sylvia.
00:31:20Slap these up everywhere.
00:31:22I'm working.
00:31:23Yes, but you also have a civil duty to assist any knight of the realm whenever he should so request.
00:31:28For God's sake, Dad, you're not a sir. Grandad was the sir. You don't inherit that title. You have to have it bestowed.
00:31:34Yes, well, I was a DIY bestowment. Really shot my bloody ear off, actually.
00:31:39Ah, have you found the culprit?
00:31:40The investigation's still ongoing.
00:31:42Well, chop, chop, because the wonderful Noah's Bar is opening tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. sharp.
00:31:47More questions?
00:31:53Yes. Do you mind if I step inside?
00:31:59Miss Bruce, can you start by telling me what you really thought of Brad?
00:32:04And I already made that clear. I liked him. A lot.
00:32:07Presumably you didn't know that he was a con man and a thief.
00:32:11I'm sorry, he was what?
00:32:13We found antihistamine in Brad's room at the pub.
00:32:16It's for hay fever. What sort on earth was he doing showing up at a flower festival?
00:32:21And that makes him a thief.
00:32:23Well, there's a good chance that he was casing the house with the intention of robbing it later.
00:32:27It's a well-known ploy. Stately homes throw open their doors, but they never truly know who they're inviting inside.
00:32:32Brad did nothing of the sort. All he did was meet my sister and fall madly in love.
00:32:36Or he realized that there was more to gain from seducing Frankie and marrying into the family.
00:32:41Please stop. This is awful.
00:32:46I've never seen it before. Where did you find it?
00:32:51It was in Brad's room at the pub.
00:32:58This earring.
00:33:01It doesn't mean he was.
00:33:03No, Brad wouldn't do that to me.
00:33:05How did you meet?
00:33:12It was on the eve of last year's War of the Roses festival.
00:33:15We had a private preview.
00:33:17We ended up talking, so I took him on a tour of the house.
00:33:20He asked to see inside?
00:33:22He seemed really keen.
00:33:24I got the impression he liked me.
00:33:26How much did you know about his Bitcoin business?
00:33:31Only what he told me, but that he was doing great.
00:33:34I'm afraid he was lying to you, Frankie.
00:33:36You didn't have a penny to his name.
00:33:38Of course he did.
00:33:40Have you seen this ring? Why would you say that?
00:33:42He was overdrawn and owed money everywhere.
00:33:44No, he was always splashing out on me.
00:33:47You need to get your facts straight.
00:33:58Please don't let this be true.
00:34:01It's been hard enough trying to convince my parents I'm worthy of their love, and
00:34:06now this.
00:34:07Is that all you wanted? Only my father's given me a job to do.
00:34:14Were you around when Kimini's husband was killed in the hit and run?
00:34:18What's that got to do with what happened to Brad?
00:34:20Well, we're aware that he showed up at Godly Manor the same day that it happened.
00:34:25I remember spotting him with Frankie and wondering who he was, but I didn't give it another thought.
00:34:29Not till she introduced him a few weeks later.
00:34:32I need to get on.
00:34:34Oh, and I need a book.
00:34:37On woodwork.
00:34:47Do you have children, Chief Inspector?
00:34:52A daughter.
00:34:54And you love her, right?
00:34:57You love her with every fiber of your being.
00:35:01Well, can you imagine what it's like when the opposite is true?
00:35:04Can you imagine what that would be like for your daughter?
00:35:10I can't see myself being anything other than in awe of her.
00:35:16That's because you didn't bring her into this world for all the wrong reasons.
00:35:21I had a brother, Chief Inspector, Francis.
00:35:28Well, what I mean when I say I had a brother is he died when he was just over a year old.
00:35:33And I was conceived shortly afterwards, but solely in the hope that my parents could somehow recreate him.
00:35:42Myrtle, it was so long ago, I was probably seeing things.
00:35:51Don't backtrack now.
00:35:53Something made you think you saw Aggie Marlowe.
00:35:55Now what was it?
00:35:56It was the way she wouldn't look at me, like she didn't want to be recognized.
00:36:03Perhaps you could have her arrested this time around.
00:36:05Oh, what are you talking about?
00:36:07The police said Francis's death was due to natural causes.
00:36:11There's no arrest happening here.
00:36:13No, sometimes you have to take things into your own hands.
00:36:16You don't mean that, do you?
00:36:22Mattel?
00:36:24You're scaring me.
00:36:29Apparently, my parents were out at an afternoon due with my grandfather.
00:36:34And when my mother came back, she found Francis dead on the floor.
00:36:37He'd fallen out of his cot.
00:36:38They'd left him on his own?
00:36:40No, they had a babysitter, Aggie Marlowe, but she vanished into thin air.
00:36:45Sylvia said it broke my parents in half.
00:36:48Until one of them had the desperately sad idea of making another Francis.
00:36:54Hence my name.
00:36:56So they went ahead.
00:36:58And sadly for them, I emerged.
00:37:02And that is when they realized that they couldn't get Francis back.
00:37:06But worse, because they were saddled with someone every day
00:37:11who reminds them that I'm not their precious son.
00:37:14I love you.
00:37:16I love you.
00:37:19I love you.
00:37:19ORCHESTRA PLAYS
00:37:49ORCHESTRA PLAYS
00:38:20Is it the best I could do, sir?
00:38:22Is it for Mrs. B?
00:38:23Thank you, Winter.
00:38:24Yes, Sarah's struggling a bit with the arbour.
00:38:28She even managed to injure her thumb.
00:38:31Well, I'm sure she'd be glad of this.
00:38:33So, did Frankie recognise the earring?
00:38:36In a word, no.
00:38:39Oh, well, that puts a cat among the pigeons.
00:38:42Brad must have been seeing someone else.
00:38:43dearest winter okay yeah thanks sir we've had an anonymous call for withheld numbers a woman

00:46:33I want to make a toast to Brad.
00:46:35He lived there for a year, and I'm going to miss him.
00:46:38Saj, you may as well know, the police are saying he was a con man.
00:46:43No way.
00:46:44A con man?
00:46:45Did you know?
00:46:46Or ever get a sense of it?
00:46:48Like you said, he was here a whole year.
00:46:50Me?
00:46:51Nah.
00:46:52Poor Frankie.
00:46:55You sure you didn't know?
00:46:56You sure you didn't?
00:46:58What does that mean?
00:46:59I don't know.
00:47:00I always thought you had a bit of a thing for him.
00:47:03A thing?
00:47:04What thing?
00:47:05Why would you say that?
00:47:06Well, you're always so keen on him, always bigging him up.
00:47:09Well, says he's number one fan.
00:47:11That wasn't me.
00:47:12No way.
00:47:13You fawned all over him.
00:47:14In fact, you changed personality whenever he was around.
00:47:17Aye, well.
00:47:18Maybe it's a good thing he's not around anymore, eh?
00:47:25Look at this.
00:47:26This is crazy.
00:47:28None of this matters now.
00:47:29He's gone.
00:47:32I'm sorry.
00:47:33I didn't mean to say any of that.
00:47:36Same.
00:47:37Normal service has resumed?
00:47:44Let's make a different toast.
00:47:46Hm?
00:47:47Hm?
00:47:48Out with the bad and all that.
00:47:51Out with the brad, more like.
00:47:59What was Nessie doing out here on her own?
00:48:02Maybe she was meeting someone.
00:48:03What, with a teddy bear?
00:48:04Hm.
00:48:05I'll get tech to check out her phone calls and texts.
00:48:09Also, have them chase up the anonymous tip about Aggie Marlow being back in the village.
00:48:16She was killed almost immediately afterwards, so whoever called us was really worried.
00:48:20Do you think one of the bruises found out she was back?
00:48:23I'll go and see.
00:48:24This is the last place I saw Francis alive.
00:48:31I gave him a cuddle before Alan and I took Sir Percival to a party.
00:48:35I'll never forgive myself for leaving him.
00:48:40And when you returned home?
00:48:43Uh, I stayed longer than planned.
00:48:45It was Kim in his fault.
00:48:46She can chat for England.
00:48:48Alan had wandered off ages before.
00:48:50When I got back, there was no sign of Aggie anywhere.
00:48:55And then I found Francis.
00:48:58Lying right there.
00:49:00Not moving.
00:49:02Lady Myrtle, did you know that, um, Aggie Marlow was living on your grounds with Noah?
00:49:12Of course I didn't.
00:49:13You never met or saw her?
00:49:15I just said.
00:49:16I didn't know she was back.
00:49:18And trust me, if I had, Aggie would have been dead a lot sooner.
00:49:22I want that woman's body off our land.
00:49:26You know what she did to Myrtle and I?
00:49:28Where were you last night?
00:49:31Are you listening to me, Barnaby?
00:49:34It's Detective Chief Inspector, Barnaby.
00:49:38I was in my bed getting my beauty sleep in preparation for the grand opening,
00:49:42which actually won't be remotely grand now, thanks to Aggie Marlow.
00:49:46Were you aware that she was part of Noah's bar?
00:49:49What on earth are you talking about?
00:49:51It turns out she was Noah's partner, had been for years.
00:49:53My God, you couldn't make it up.
00:49:55Brad didn't happen to find that out when he was searching for Noah.
00:49:58Would I have invited him here if he had?
00:50:00If you wanted revenge for Francis, then yes, that's exactly what you would have done.
00:50:04Look, I invited Noah here simply to raise some cash.
00:50:08My father didn't exactly leave a pot of gold in his will, and these stately homes cost a fortune to maintain.
00:50:14On the outside, it looks like we've won the lottery.
00:50:16On the inside, we can barely afford a ticket.
00:50:18Well, there's still the house and grounds, though.
00:50:20And surely you knew that finding Noah could result in you having to hand over half of everything you'd inherited.
00:50:26You've met him? He's a hippie.
00:50:28They don't belong in houses like this.
00:50:30Anyway, he'll drift away soon enough.
00:50:32Did Brad know you were struggling financially?
00:50:36I admit, I was a little too keen to get Noah here, and someone like Brad might have noted that.
00:50:43Someone like Brad?
00:50:45He was a parasite.
00:50:46I didn't realize at first, but he was a tapeworm eating his way into our family.
00:50:55Sir, I called Saj Solanki, and he said that he remembers seeing Noah and the Axeman in the pub.
00:51:03It seems the Bruce's both had a strong motive for killing Nessie, and Sir Alan had an inkling that Brad wasn't the person he claimed to be.
00:51:13Talking of Brad, we know that he was desperate for money to keep up his lies and lifestyle,
00:51:19so all it would take is for his killer to know that as well.
00:51:23What about the person the diamond earring belongs to? It could be some kind of love rat thing.
00:51:30Elegantly put, Winter?
00:51:31Or Frankie found out that Brad was cheating on her and killed him in a fit of jealousy.
00:51:34I'm sure that's possible in your love rat world.
00:51:36She was also the only member of the Bruce family that we know for certain met Nessie.
00:51:40Ah, and you were doing so well, Winter.
00:51:42But Frankie hadn't been born when Nessie was babysitting for the Bruce's.
00:51:47It's doubtful she'd know her on side.
00:51:49Here's a question for you.
00:51:51How does a penniless man rent a room in a pub for an entire year?
00:51:58Look, Kimmy won't report you for speeding. There are mitigating circumstances just like you told her.
00:52:14You know what she's like. She takes her misery out on anyone she can find.
00:52:18I can't have points on my license. I could lose my job.
00:52:22Well, come work here then. You'd probably earn more.
00:52:26If this world of woodenness takes off, this place will be packed.
00:52:29It's not the money. I happen to love that job.
00:52:32Mr. Solanke, a word if you don't mind.
00:52:36I thought you were all done here.
00:52:40How did Brad pay for his room and board?
00:52:42Like anyone else?
00:52:43He was penniless, Mr. Solanke.
00:52:45We can just go through your books.
00:52:48Right, well, the thing is, hindsight's a great thing, right?
00:52:53But I kind of let Brad run up a tab.
00:52:57For an entire year?
00:52:58Well, he was a nice guy. I totally trusted him.
00:53:01Tell them, Sylvia. You were always urging Frankie to marry him, man.
00:53:05You'll need on that.
00:53:07Well, we have you.
00:53:09We found this in Brad's room. Have you seen that before?
00:53:13No, sorry.
00:53:15Did Brad ever have anyone other than Frankie back to his room?
00:53:18No, not that I ever saw.
00:53:20Fleur?
00:53:22Believe it or not, we're at the pub right now.
00:53:28We're going to need access to Brad's room again.
00:53:33It'll be fine. Don't worry.
00:53:49Oh, Noah.
00:53:52I'm so sorry. I just heard about Aggie.
00:53:56I meant Nessie. You must be devastated.
00:54:02That answers everything.
00:54:05She called herself Nessie, yet you just called her Aggie.
00:54:09I know your big pals with Myrtle, my charming sister-in-law.
00:54:15Did you do the family a favor and tell them who Nessie really was?
00:54:20I think you should leave.
00:54:21I think I should go to the police, don't you?
00:54:25What is it called? Accessory to murder?
00:54:30Go on, then.
00:54:31I've done nothing wrong.
00:54:33I'll tell them you clearly recognized her and they'll realize you're the only one who knew who she was.
00:54:39Why are you here?
00:54:42What do you want from me?
00:54:44That's better.
00:54:45I know I got permission to put on my festival, but what if I wanted to set up home there permanently with all my people?
00:54:55That's something else entirely.
00:54:56You're the head of the council.
00:54:58I'm sure you could make it happen.
00:55:00They already hate Sir Alan.
00:55:01I doubt they'd be too fond of you for riding to his rescue.
00:55:04We're talking about my home.
00:55:06A home I've been denied for far too long, so make it happen.
00:55:10What if I can't?
00:55:13This is my birthright, and I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of that.
00:55:32What are you doing?
00:55:37What's that for?
00:55:38Care to explain, Mr. Slunkey?
00:55:41No idea.
00:55:43I was already there when I started running the police.
00:55:46Shall I keep going?
00:55:47Where is this leading, Fleur?
00:55:49I worked on a similar case once.
00:55:50There were mirrors all over the walls in that place as well.
00:55:53Clearly, the idea took off.
00:55:55When I first encountered this sort of thing, my boss told me to touch the mirrors with my fingernail.
00:56:00And my fingernail touched its reflection.
00:56:02And what else would it touch?
00:56:05Index finger, please, Winter.
00:56:10I promise not to buy it.
00:56:13If it were a normal mirror, your fingernail and its reflection would never meet.
00:56:17There'll always be a gap, like so.
00:56:20But with a two-way mirror,
00:56:21finger, not just finger.
00:56:26And they're in every room, aren't they, Mr. Slunkey?
00:56:39It's for security purposes.
00:56:41Try again, Mr. Slunkey.
00:56:46Look, a lot of people book into hotels and not just to sleep.
00:56:50They meet up with lovers.
00:56:52Some of them do secret deals.
00:56:54I've heard them on the phone, lying about their whereabouts.
00:56:57The list goes on.
00:56:58I mean, half the people that come in here are up to no good.
00:57:01So you thought you'd make some money out of it?
00:57:05When did Brad find out you were doing this?
00:57:08First night he stayed.
00:57:09He accidentally knocked over the mirror onto the floor and he saw the camera behind it.
00:57:13But he didn't report you?
00:57:15He told me to lose the cameras in his room, but keep the rest in the other rooms.
00:57:19He wanted in on it.
00:57:21In fact, he took over.
00:57:22He made me blackmail everyone that I could.
00:57:25And for the last year, he's lived here rent-free in exchange for his silence.
00:57:29He's bled me dry in every way you can imagine.
00:57:32Including forcing you to buy Frankie's engagement ring?
00:57:36Well, how do you know that?
00:57:38We didn't until now.
00:57:40We'll need to look into Mr. Slunkey's finances.
00:57:43Am I going to prison for this?
00:57:46At the moment, I'm more interested in who Brad was seeing behind Frankie's back.
00:57:51Well, he wasn't seeing anyone.
00:57:53You're in enough trouble as it is, Mr. Slunkey.
00:57:55I couldn't see anything before because then you'd come back and ask for proof and then you'd...
00:58:01Find out what you've been doing.
00:58:03She used to come in the back way.
00:58:06Obviously didn't know I had a hidden camera outside, but it was...
00:58:09Sylvia Bruce.
00:58:10Sylvia?
00:58:11No.
00:58:12It was her mum, Myrtle.
00:58:14Look at these idiots, sir.
00:58:39She can't give me a ticket.
00:58:41This is official police business.
00:58:43So's this.
00:58:45Just so you know, you can pass on my information, but it'll be up to the police if they decide
00:58:48to prosecute or not.
00:58:49And, well, I am the police.
00:58:52Well, we'll find out on Monday when I send in my data whether that helps or not.
00:59:02When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
00:59:04It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
00:59:07And don't think you can get away with this at night either.
00:59:10I'm on guard 24-7.
00:59:12Sorry, Kimmy.
00:59:14I'll go halves on the fine hike.
00:59:16Someone needs to take that speed gun off her.
00:59:20Drive on, Winter.
00:59:22Slowly.
00:59:23Would you like to know where we found this?
00:59:36You should know that Brad never loved Frankie.
00:59:41I mean, how could he?
00:59:42She's quite unlovable.
00:59:43Alan and I tried for years.
00:59:47When did you and Brad start seeing each other?
00:59:51Months ago.
00:59:52I rather felt for him, all that pretending he had to do.
00:59:56So the affair was still going on even at the engagement party.
01:00:00Did Sir Alan know?
01:00:01Doesn't matter if he did or he didn't.
01:00:03He disappeared the night Francis died.
01:00:06There's more life in his portrait.
01:00:08When did you last see Brad?
01:00:10And he was lying dead in our hallway.
01:00:12Lady Myrtle.
01:00:14At the engagement party.
01:00:16You were never worried that Saj would see you at the pub and tell Frankie?
01:00:19I didn't go there often and Brad seemed to have some hold over Saj.
01:00:24He said he wouldn't say a word if he knew what was good for him.
01:00:27Sadly for you, we can say whatever he wants now.
01:00:30What are you talking about?
01:00:31Saj has CCTV footage of you two arguing outside his pub the day before Brad died.
01:00:36What was the argument about?
01:00:38He'd found out that Alan and I aren't exactly wealthy.
01:00:42He was furious.
01:00:43He said I'd been leading him on.
01:00:45Did he break up with you?
01:00:46He threatened to.
01:00:47How did you feel about that?
01:00:48How do you think?
01:00:50Did you get the dibbler from Kim and his shop?
01:00:53Ball in to see her and slip one into your pocket?
01:00:55I wouldn't know a dibbler from a punch on the nose.
01:00:57And then you rigged the clock.
01:00:58Oh, this is ridiculous.
01:00:59Murder very often is Lady Myrtle.
01:01:05You're not going to bring Lady Myrtle in, sir?
01:01:07Sir Alan has already given her an alibi for the night Brad was killed.
01:01:10We need something concrete.
01:01:13Yes, Wynter.
01:01:15Oh, okay, that was quick.
01:01:17Thanks.
01:01:18Sir, Tech have managed to trace the anonymous call
01:01:21regarding Aggie Marlowe.
01:01:24It was from Kim and E. Bullitt.
01:01:26Oh, of course it was.
01:01:28We already know she likes to share her findings with the police.
01:01:31Hop over to her shop and find out if she told anyone else.
01:01:35She was obviously worried about what might happen.
01:01:39Hello?
01:01:53You could have been somewhere more accessible.
01:01:57I never liked that hill.
01:02:11There you are.
01:02:25Let me just catch my breath.
01:02:39Ah!
01:02:48Oh!
01:02:55Ah!
01:03:00How's your thumb?
01:03:26Throbbing.
01:03:27Do you really think you can put that arbor together?
01:03:33Only I don't want it suddenly collapsing on Betty or her friends or on me, for that matter.
01:03:38That arbor will still be standing a hundred years from now.
01:03:42A monument to the inherited skills of a master craftsman.
01:03:48Right.
01:03:48Right.
01:03:57Winter.
01:04:15What's that around her mouth?
01:04:16Fleur thinks it's some kind of industrial wood glue.
01:04:19Super strong.
01:04:19I'm afraid her lips are sealed, so I'll have to talk for her.
01:04:23It looks like someone stuck it to the chair, and then, if I'm right, they force-fed her with whatever was left in the glue gun.
01:04:31That's also covered in glue.
01:04:33Whoever it was, tried to make it cozy and inviting.
01:04:37If only.
01:04:39Any idea where the chairs came from?
01:04:41Judging from the finish, I'd say a craftsman, I thought.
01:04:43Would you like a ticket?
01:05:00Would you like a ticket?
01:05:13I'm afraid Kiminy Bullock was killed sometime last night.
01:05:22My God.
01:05:24I was wondering what had happened.
01:05:27Were you at the house?
01:05:29No.
01:05:30I stayed here last night.
01:05:32Noah's a bit lost right now, obviously, so I thought I could be there for him.
01:05:37You didn't see or hear anything?
01:05:39No.
01:05:41Sorry.
01:05:41This is awful.
01:05:44I've known Kiminy my whole life.
01:05:49Excuse me.
01:06:08Wood is so much more than we think it is.
01:06:11It has sheltered us, defended us, given up its body to us.
01:06:19Nessie came up with that.
01:06:21All of this was her idea.
01:06:24Show people how much they can learn and benefit from nature.
01:06:27And turn it into furniture.
01:06:28And turn it into furniture.
01:06:30Namely, a pair of chairs.
01:06:33If you're looking to pin this on me, anyone could have come in here.
01:06:37You really shouldn't try locking things away, Mr. Connoboy.
01:06:40Someone needs to go and tell the crowds we won't be opening any time soon.
01:06:44They'll have to come back next year.
01:06:45You're planning on returning?
01:06:48I'm not actually planning on leaving.
01:06:50I was born here.
01:06:52Nessie was born here.
01:06:54I belong here.
01:07:08Hi, sir.
01:07:09Yeah, I'm in Kiminy's shop.
01:07:10Someone's been in here and...
01:07:13Looks like they've smashed up our laptop.
01:07:14Is there anyone Kiminy might have upset recently?
01:07:26If there was, she didn't tell me.
01:07:29We know she left an anonymous tip-off about Aggie Marlowe being back in Godly Buzzard.
01:07:35Did she happen to tell you as well?
01:07:37As I've already said, that wouldn't have gone well for Aggie.
01:07:40Is that why Kiminy decided to contact us?
01:07:42You met her.
01:07:44She spent half her life contacting the police.
01:07:48Talking of which, did she ever mention the hit and run?
01:07:51Only to the point of boredom.
01:07:53More recently, I mean, as in had she found out who killed her husband?
01:07:57No, she'd have said.
01:07:58In fact, she'd have screamed it from the rooftops.
01:08:03We know that Brad checked into Saj's pub on the same night that Kiminy's husband was killed.
01:08:09Before you fall down that rabbit hole, Brad got a puncture.
01:08:12Up at the house and walked down to the village.
01:08:15He couldn't have run anyone over.
01:08:16Let alone Kim and his husband.
01:08:22I don't suppose I could have Francis's teddy.
01:08:25Only Kiminy bought that for him.
01:08:27It feels so wrong that Aggie took it.
01:08:29How did you know about the teddy bear?
01:08:35We deliberately withheld that information.
01:08:38Alan told me he must have let it slip, Chief Inspector.
01:08:41Charles, how good of you to call.
01:08:55Now, I may need you to sue the police for loss of earnings.
01:09:00Yes, that's right, the police.
01:09:02I'll send you an email with all the details.
01:09:04Speak soon.
01:09:05Well, that should shrink your annual budget.
01:09:10How did you know about Aggie Marlowe taking Francis's teddy bear?
01:09:14You told your wife, remember?
01:09:17Well, I probably picked it up off of one of you lot.
01:09:20Aggie must have gone up to Francis's room.
01:09:24I think you saw her.
01:09:25You're an absolute balderdash.
01:09:27Why would she go up there?
01:09:28I didn't know she had.
01:09:29It seems a strange place to return to, considering the circumstances.
01:09:34Or was she coming to see you and Lady Myrtle?
01:09:36I very much doubt it.
01:09:38She'd been avoiding being seen,
01:09:41yet she felt confident enough to come to the house,
01:09:44the place where she'd apparently left a child to die.
01:09:47I'm afraid I can't answer for her actions.
01:09:50I happen to think you can.
01:09:53What really happened on the day your son died?
01:09:55I'd really rather not go back there.
01:09:56It's still exceedingly raw, even after all these years.
01:10:01I know that you and your wife went to a party with your father.
01:10:06She said that she came back alone,
01:10:08which implies that either you were still at the party,
01:10:11or you'd already left.
01:10:13I stayed till the bitter end.
01:10:15Then you would have seen both Lady Myrtle and Kimmy,
01:10:18because they stayed late as well.
01:10:22You've spent a long time living with this, Sir Alan.
01:10:26She was extremely attractive back then.
01:10:36And I was only a little older than her.
01:10:39In your eyes, perhaps?
01:10:41And I've been drinking.
01:10:44And you know, sometimes on those odd occasions
01:10:46when you have a romantic thought,
01:10:48and then that thought becomes a possibility,
01:10:50and then before you know where you are,
01:10:51it's a cast-iron certainty.
01:10:53And I was Sir Percival's son.
01:10:55How could she not be impressed?
01:10:57But Aggie wasn't impressed, was she?
01:10:59Well, she tried to be polite,
01:11:00and I went along with it at first,
01:11:03but then I said we hadn't got much time,
01:11:04and perhaps we should move things forward.
01:11:06Well, she was appalled.
01:11:09Said she wanted to go and check on Francis.
01:11:12He was crying, and...
01:11:13And I stopped her.
01:11:16I didn't let her see him.
01:11:18For how long?
01:11:20Well, I thought I heard a thump or a thud or something,
01:11:25but I just ignored it,
01:11:26because I had other things on my mind.
01:11:29And Aggie heard it too,
01:11:31and told me to open the door.
01:11:33She said it over and over again,
01:11:34and when I refused,
01:11:35she slapped me,
01:11:36and then she dodged by me,
01:11:37and her first thought was to go and check on Francis.
01:11:41And that's when I heard her scream.
01:11:44And by the time you got there...
01:11:47Well, to my eternal shame, I blamed her.
01:11:51I said it was all her fault,
01:11:53and that I would see her locked up for life.
01:11:57So she ran,
01:11:59knowing that no one would believe her word against yours,
01:12:02the son of Sir Percival Bruce.
01:12:04She came to see me a few nights ago.
01:12:09She told me she was going to tell Myrtle the truth.
01:12:11Well, everybody, in fact.
01:12:13Why now, after all this time?
01:12:15Well, Noah wants to set up permanent residence on the grounds,
01:12:18but I didn't kill her, I swear.
01:12:20I didn't even try to get that damn teddy back.
01:12:24I just stood there, frozen,
01:12:27in this pathetic excuse that I call my life.
01:12:34Winter.
01:12:40Winter.
01:12:50Sir, I looked into Saj's financials, like you said,
01:12:53and the odd thing was that Sylvia
01:12:54paid for Brad's room the night he turned up in Godly Buzzard.
01:12:58But she said that she didn't meet him that day.
01:13:00I think we'd better talk to her.
01:13:01Oh, also, Fleur's tech team found a smudge of blue ink
01:13:05on Kimini's laptop.
01:13:06It was only tiny, but she's going to run it.
01:13:08Tell her there's no me.
01:13:09Yeah, I already have, sir.
01:13:11Because it's probably from the stamp
01:13:12that Sylvia uses in her library.
01:13:14You won't jump ahead of me, Winter.
01:13:15There is a first time for everything, sir.
01:13:18You should get a bonus for all the things you've taught me.
01:13:22Didn't tech have any luck with Kimini's laptop?
01:13:24They managed to retrieve most of the data,
01:13:26but it was just the speeding reports
01:13:27that she'd been filing.
01:13:28And I see.
01:13:29Hmm.
01:13:33I should go and talk to her before she heads off.
01:13:42Sylvia, I'm going to ask,
01:13:44why did you pay for Brad's room
01:13:45the night that the flower festival was rained off?
01:13:49I'm sure that you hadn't met him that day.
01:13:51Sylvia!
01:13:54Sylvia!
01:13:55Sylvia!
01:14:00Put your foot down, Winter.
01:14:12Oh.
01:14:17Can't get around us, man.
01:14:18See if there's someone who's put us up ahead.
01:14:20Oh, following me!
01:14:23What's she doing?
01:14:23Where's she going?
01:14:24She's on her way to Godly Manor.
01:14:28You can't go and live with that excuse for an uncle.
01:14:31I can do what the hell I like.
01:14:33Noah's going to try and take all of this from us.
01:14:35It's not just the grounds he wants.
01:14:37He'll come for his share of the house.
01:14:38And you think I'm on your side?
01:14:40I hope he gets the lot.
01:14:42Frankie.
01:14:44Frankie!
01:14:44She's headed for the gate, sir.
01:14:53She's going to go straight through them, sir.
01:14:58Frankie!
01:15:11Sophia!
01:15:12What are you doing?
01:15:12They know what I did.
01:15:15Pull yourself together, Sylvia.
01:15:17I killed him, Mother.
01:15:19I killed him.
01:15:26What the hell is going on?
01:15:27He's shaking like a leaf.
01:15:32Sylvia, I don't understand.
01:15:34Ask them.
01:15:36They know.
01:15:37Stop saying that.
01:15:38Will somebody talk to me?
01:15:39Tell them, then.
01:15:40Tell them what I did.
01:15:41I'd rather hear it from you, Sylvia.
01:15:47I didn't see him.
01:15:49The road was empty one minute the next.
01:15:51He was just standing there right in front of me.
01:15:54Who is she talking about?
01:15:56Jiminy Bullitt's husband, Lawrence.
01:15:58What?
01:15:59Sylvia?
01:15:59Right.
01:16:00Don't say another word.
01:16:01Alan, call your solicitor.
01:16:03Tell us what happened, Sylvia.
01:16:04Leave my daughter alone.
01:16:06Alan, call Charles now.
01:16:08I didn't think anyone had seen me, so I drove off, not knowing what to do.
01:16:14I was in such a state, though.
01:16:17I had to pull over, thought I was going to be sick.
01:16:19A few minutes later, there was a tap on the side of the library.
01:16:23Brad had seen what you'd done.
01:16:25He made me pay for his room at Sash's pub.
01:16:27He was really after something else.
01:16:32I'm so sorry.
01:16:34I'm so sorry.
01:16:37He wanted to be in the manor.
01:16:39He wanted a portrait of his own.
01:16:40He wanted it all.
01:16:42So he told me I had to make sure you married him.
01:16:44Doesn't anyone want me for who I am?
01:16:49I know.
01:16:50I know, and I hated him so much for it.
01:16:52I wanted to rescue you, Frankie.
01:16:53I wanted so many things.
01:16:55Winter?
01:16:56As I learned at great cost last year, there are certain perennials that shouldn't be planted
01:17:00next to each other.
01:17:01Kim and I would know that better than anyone.
01:17:04I think they found Brad's phone.
01:17:06And on it, no doubt, we'll find out why it had to be buried.
01:17:09Mm-hmm.
01:17:10Am I right, Frankie?
01:17:12I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:17:17I know it was you who smashed up Kim and his laptop.
01:17:20Me?
01:17:21I had no idea that even happened.
01:17:22I saw a list of number plates on a document that Kim and he was putting together.
01:17:27Your friend Cordelia's number plate was on it, along with a date and time.
01:17:31Then talk to Cordelia, not me.
01:17:33Ironically, that was actually the very thing you were trying to prevent.
01:17:37When will you ever learn, Cordelia?
01:17:39It's not 30 miles an hour through the village.
01:17:42And don't think you can get away with this at night, either.
01:17:45I'm on guard 24-7.
01:17:47You took Cordelia's car after everyone had passed out after your celebrations.
01:17:52You drove it up here, not thinking for a minute that Kim and he would still be out monitoring
01:17:57the roads.
01:17:57She was going to post her findings on Monday, and the moment Cordelia received her speeding
01:18:02notice, she would have questioned it.
01:18:05You couldn't have that happen, Frankie.
01:18:09Is this true?
01:18:11Not a word of it.
01:18:12And who stays up half the night looking for speeders?
01:18:15Kim and he did.
01:18:16She was heartbroken after Lauren.
01:18:17She couldn't sleep or find peace anywhere.
01:18:19We know that the cuckoo clock had been moved high enough to kill Brad.
01:18:24And who would have known Brad's height better than you?
01:18:27Try my mother.
01:18:29She seemed to have spent a lot of time with him.
01:18:31Yes, mother, I knew that earring was yours.
01:18:35Would you like to tell us what's on the phone, Frankie?
01:18:38It won't take us long to access it.
01:18:40Well, when you put it like that, Frankie, it was the look on his face that did it.
01:19:03It was this look of pure and utter greed.
01:19:07I knew what he was thinking.
01:19:08So I sent him a message.
01:19:11Why don't we steal the clock and run away together?
01:19:15He agreed.
01:19:16Said we should do it after things had died down.
01:19:19But you came up here and rigged the clock.
01:19:21Because I knew he was lying.
01:19:23He wanted it all for himself.
01:19:26I hoped I was wrong.
01:19:28But sometimes you just know.
01:19:30It was horrible to watch.
01:19:38How did you know that Brad would be there at the right time?
01:19:53I didn't matter what time it was.
01:19:57Frankie knew Brad would turn the hour hands to get the cuckoo to come out regardless.
01:20:02Tell me about Nessie.
01:20:05Presumably you saw her up at the house.
01:20:08Kimmy, I just got your message.
01:20:11Oh my God.
01:20:14Are you sure it's her?
01:20:16I can't.
01:20:17I just can't.
01:20:19Not while there's breath in my body.
01:20:21I hadn't a clue who my mother was talking about.
01:20:23Until you realised there was only one person your mother could hate that much.
01:20:27Aggie Marlowe.
01:20:30And there she was.
01:20:31Carrying Francis' teddy.
01:20:33So you took revenge for your brother.
01:20:36How could I not?
01:20:37She's responsible for this nightmare I call my life.
01:20:42Only she wasn't.
01:20:44What?
01:20:45I suggest you speak to Sir Alan about that.
01:20:49I'm curious about the blue ink on Kimmy's laptop.
01:20:52Presumably you wanted to throw us off the trail.
01:20:57Sorry, sis.
01:20:59You all but forced me into loving Brad.
01:21:01It was his doing, not mine.
01:21:03But I didn't know that, did I?
01:21:05I believed every word he said.
01:21:07I'm your sister.
01:21:08I was put in a horrible position.
01:21:09Do you want to know about horrible positions?
01:21:12Try killing three people.
01:21:14Most people would have just called off the engagement.
01:21:16Blame them.
01:21:18They made me that way.
01:21:19I grew up being rejected for not being what they desperately wanted.
01:21:23And there I was again.
01:21:24Not being what Brad wanted.
01:21:30What's a girl to do?
01:21:31Though I rather hoped.
01:21:35I was always one step ahead of you.
01:21:37If it's any consolation, you were.
01:21:42But you always saw the wood despite the trees.
01:21:45Oh, how ironic.
01:21:52I don't understand you, Frankie.
01:21:55How are you saying all these things?
01:21:56As if you didn't have a care in the world.
01:21:58Because I learnt from the worst.
01:22:00If only you and father had wanted me.
01:22:03It was just a simple, little thing.
01:22:05Like loving a child.
01:22:06But it was beyond both of you.
01:22:15I hope your daughter turns out to be everything you could hope for.
01:22:20Come on, hon.
01:22:39That's it.
01:22:41Almost there.
01:22:44He's doing a grand job.
01:22:46He is.
01:22:47And I have to say, I am deeply impressed.
01:22:51Do you know, pergolas and arbors date back to early Egyptian times?
01:22:55Really that far?
01:22:56In some societies, there were actually status symbols.
01:22:59Well, the Barnabys are going up in the world.
01:23:03I'd have had that up an hour ago.
01:23:05You'd be moaning about having a strained back by now.
01:23:08I'm just saying, it would have taken me half the time.
01:23:10Don't listen to them, Winter.
01:23:12You're doing a fine job.
01:23:17Because everything's a joke indeed.
01:23:20Huh.
01:23:25Hmm.
01:23:26Hmm.
01:23:26Hmm.
01:23:28Hmm.
01:23:29Hmm.
01:23:31Hmm, Hmm.
01:23:34Hmm.
01:23:35Hmm.
01:23:36Hmm.
01:23:36Hmm.
01:23:37Hmm.
01:23:39Hmm.
01:23:40Hmm.
01:23:41Hmm.
01:23:42Hmm.
01:23:43Hmm.
01:23:44Hmm.
01:23:44Hmm.
